Charging is possible by using a regular wall plug or a charging station. Public charging is always done through a charging station. How fast the EV can charge depends on the charging station (EVSE) used and the maximum charging capacity of the EV. The table below shows all possible options for charging the Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh. Each option shows how fast the battery can be charged from empty to full.
Europe
Charging an EV in Europe differs by country. Some European countries primarily use 1-phase connections to the grid, while other countries are almost exclusively using a 3-phase connection. The table below shows all possible ways the Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh can be charged, but some modes of charging might not be widely available in certain countries.

Fast Charging (10 -> 80%)
Rapid charging enables longer journeys by adding as much range as possible in the shortest amount of time. Charging power will decrease significantly after 80% state-of-charge has been reached. A typical rapid charge therefore rarely exceeds 80% SoC. The rapid charge rate of an EV depends on the charger used and the maximum charging power the EV can handle. The table below shows all details for rapid charging the Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh.

About this Vehicle
Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh Overview
The Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh positions itself as a mainstream electric fastback sedan, blending affordable pricing with premium comfort in the compact EV segment. Targeted at urban commuters and families seeking a practical alternative to pricier rivals, this Citroen electric SUV-sedan hybrid offers Citroën’s signature “Advanced Comfort” suspension for a plush ride. Built on the e-CMP platform shared with Peugeot and Opel models, it emphasizes lounge-like interiors, a sleek fastback design, and efficient electric propulsion. Key distinguishing features include its 54 kWh NMC battery, front-wheel drive setup, and aerodynamic 0.29 drag coefficient, making it ideal for daily drives and longer trips.
In the competitive EV landscape, the Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh stands out for its value-driven approach, delivering up to 260 miles of WLTP range without the premium badge of German or Tesla competitors. This e-C4 X review highlights its role as a comfortable, no-fuss electric vehicle range contender, appealing to buyers prioritizing ride quality over outright performance. With 510 liters of boot space expanding to 1,360 liters, it rivals traditional hatchbacks while offering EV specs like 100 kW DC fast charging for real-world usability.
Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh Performance and Driving Experience
The Citroen e-C4 X 54 kWh delivers relaxed, comfortable performance from its single front-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor producing 115 kW (154 hp) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. Acceleration is brisk for city use, hitting 0-60 mph in 8.7 seconds, with instant torque enabling smooth overtakes. Top speed caps at 93 mph, prioritizing efficiency over speed. Handling leans toward Citroën’s comfort philosophy, with Advanced Comfort suspension featuring hydraulic stops absorbing bumps for a pillowy ride, though it’s not sporty—expect composed cruising rather than sharp cornering. Real-world impressions praise its wafting dynamics, regenerative braking with B-mode for one-pedal driving, and easy maneuverability thanks to a 10.9-meter turning circle.
